A Few Signs Your Oriental Rug Could Use Some Attention
Sometimes it is hard to tell when a rug actually needs cleaning, especially since these rugs are so good at hiding dirt within their tight weave.
A few things worth watching for are a faint smell that will not go away, colors that look a little duller than they used to, a texture that feels rougher underfoot, or simply knowing it has been a year or two since the last deep clean. None of these are anything to worry about, they just mean it is a good time to give us a call.
What We Often Help With
Faded color from years of sunlight and foot traffic, musty smells that linger even after vacuuming, fringe that looks worn or discolored, and rugs that simply have not been deep cleaned in a long time.
We also see a fair amount of pet related odor and everyday buildup that home vacuuming alone just cannot reach. If any of this sounds familiar, you are definitely not alone, and we would love to help.
Why Oriental Rugs Need a Different Kind of Care
Oriental rugs are often made from natural fibers like wool or silk, and many use dyes that can be sensitive to the wrong products or too much moisture. A cleaning process built for everyday carpet, the kind you might rent from a hardware store or hire a general cleaner for, can actually cause real harm here. We are talking about color bleeding, a weakened foundation underneath the pile, or fringe that frays and discolors when it is not handled properly.
We take a slower, more careful approach because these rugs simply call for it. Nothing about our process is rushed, and nothing is treated as one size fits all. Every rug that comes in gets looked at as its own project, not just another item on a list.

What Our Clients Say
How We Clean Your Oriental Rug
A Careful Look First
Before we begin the process of deep cleaning your rug, we will inspect it to take note of the fiber, dye, and wear that the rug may have experienced.
Testing the Dyes
Before we begin deep cleaning your rug, we will test the dyes used on the rug to make sure that we will not bleed or fade your rug’s color.
Removing Deep Dust First
Most Oriental rugs contain debris within the rug’s fiber that can be removed before we begin using water to deep clean your rug.
Cleaning Suited to the Fiber
If the fiber of your rug is wool, it will be deep cleaned in a way that is suited for wool fibers. Should your rug be silk fibers, it will be deep cleaned in a way that is suited for silk fibers.
Detailed Attention to Fringe and Edges
The fringe and edges of your rug may be overlooked when vacuuming your rug, however they also require the same care to look as good as the rest of your rug.
Slow, Even Drying
Because Oriental rugs can be dense in their fibers, rugs will take some time to dry. We will take the time to dry your rug so that there is no odor or mildew issues.
One Final Check
One final check will be done on your rug before it is delivered to you.
